floating nymphéas

The tiny Thumelina woke up very early in the morning, and when she saw where she was she began to cry bitterly; for no every side of the great green leaf was water, and she could not get to the land.

FLOATING WATER LILY LEAVES The format and organization of leaves leads an outdoor promenade from the paths up to roof terraces discovering small water lily ponds, eventually unveiling the wetland to a panoramic view from above. A pause on these leaves might evoke a déjà vu, a fantasy traced back thousands years ago from our ancestors’ believes, that after years and years of intense mental and physical training, we, human beings, are able to pause upon water, light as a fur, alert as a dragonfly, meditating the breeze and aroma in our nature. 04


SPACES BETWEEN LEAVES

05

The leisure center will house leisure function as open and continuous circulation on ground level and sunken into activity pools imitating paths and ponds of wetland topography, while on second level, spedicalized SPA rooms become individual spaces, like the thumbnail floating in water lily leaves, carried by leisure circulation underneath.

RELATIONSHIPS OF AMBIGUITY The public spaces get their charachter after their proximity to the context, creating more layers and inbetween spaces, graduating to private from edge and inside. It creates overlapping and continiously fluent spaces. We sense limitation and limitless of space at the same time, closure and aperture giving a curious sense of distance. Loose relation to context and blurred border. 08

STACKED COURTYARDS The National Sinology Center acts not only as an academic institute, but more importantly as a display window communicating the originality of Guoxue(Sinology), with a critical mission of preserving and spreading knowledge. The concept has raised t wo cr ucial problems in regards to the design. Firstly, research has determined that" Guoxue" has encountered a stage facing a critical crisis genetically Theturns National Sinology Center acts not only asit has been out to be commercialized. Secondly, an academic institute, but more as traditional problematic to express and importantly evaluate the a display window the originality Chinese spiritcommunicating while the manifestation of such topics of Guoxue(Sinology), with a critical mission of that are has turned into incomprehensive fantasies preserving knowledge. The center most ofand the spreading time remote from everyday life. The project, which is located in the national Olympic plays the role of the most important ritual device,center, has provided opportunities these issues. which challenges the designto tosolve analyze disposition possibilities and the implication of the abstract oriental spirit.

URBANIZED SINOLOGY National sinology center will become the engine of contemporary urban culture, the platform of connection between Chinese tradition and real life. It brings the Chinese ancient spirit, the ideal world hidden in the nature to the central areas of Beijing, and by the means of " hidding the secret in front of public", create a cultural center in which we could be preaching enlightening and deliberating the Chinese ancient philosophy, which is called urbanized Chinese sinology center.

LOGICAL SPACES The design concept is to translate the inner spirit of "Sinology" into an urbanized background. The open floor plan at the ground floor has mingled the generic urban lifestyle with exhibition and educational spaces, leading the flow of pedestrian traffic upwards which emphasizes the physical and metaphorical transition between chaotic urban scenes to sublimantion 1.People flow from West personal experience. The scenes along the journey are carefully constructed via clear logical architectural spaces: the void spaces have a frame and tanon structure elaborating the "blankness" and " meditative" spirit lingering in traditional Chinese architecture. 20


The space on the ground floor and underground level blends in with the daily life. It houses a combination of art, literature, commercial and recreational activities.

VEIL FOR THE NEW METROPLIS Situated at the junction of Chang'an Avenue and East Third Ring Road, the store occupies the two story podium of the China World Trade Center.The store has a seventy-meter long facade front, designed to catch attention along Chang'an Avenue. The design takes advantage of the long facade to create different experiences for viewers at different distances and travelling at different speeds. Location: Chang'an Avenue, Beijing, PRC Client: Louis Vuitton Malletier Design Phase: 2011 Architect: URBANUS Collaborators: THISMEDIA Design Team: H Wang, ML Zheng, Deborah A. Richards Minglu's Role: Oringinal concept, coordination of design team, schematic development.

The world trade center is located in Beijing east Changan avenue and east sanhuan road junction, which is the capital of eastern Beijing's transportation hub. This area is frequently loaded with heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The facade design is in response to the slowing down in the speed of movement, captivating people's attention as they pass the store.

Public Traffic

Private-car Traffic

Bicycle Transportation Pedestrian Traffic

Taking public transportation cause congestion, result in a large number of buses stop for long time.

the surge of the vehicle number leads to a road traffic jam. as the compounds of commercial network and the schools and companies, traffic gets more serious.

people riding bicycel & motorcycle do not obey the traffic role, causing the increasing of traffic.

some walking people walk on the road instead of using the overpass or underpass leading chaos order.

DYNAMIC PATTERN A pattern composed of Louis Vuitton logle is applied to each pane. The "damier" pattern is gradually dissolved into smaller scales in order to enhance the visual effect. The angle and size of the varying panes make the overlapping image appear three dimensional. The glass panes gradually rotate to create varying levels of overlap. This magically transforms the static Louis Vuitton pattern into a visual dynamic effect. The architecture is enlivened by the viewer's changing perspective. An interactive relationship is created between the building and the viewer. 46

Life today is ever-changing and incredibly dynamic: both physically and spirtually. Our feelings and behaviors are ever moving, shifting, and our architecture should be able to respond to these dynamics. Inspired by biological phenomena and logic, this project aims to illustrate how the “interior network of social places� of a building can mold and change its architectural form and function.

The signal sent in an ambryo implies the people living inside of a builidng. People’s behaviors in the public spaces desides the position and volume of social centers, and the relationship between social centers during the time mode and change its architectual form and functions, forming dynamic social netwok.

With the signal going through space between two layers, the formation of the part which signal located would change toward the opposite direction during the time. For instance, consider the signal as the number of people. With more people occupied, the space expends more.
